How is Antarctica colder than the arctic?

Fresh water freezes at 32 degrees F, and that may be the temperature of the ice in your freezer at home. The water in the southern Ocean contains salts and other minerals, and may remain liquid down to about 28 degrees F. So yes, the liquid water in the Southern Ocean may be colder than the ice in your freezer. The frozen fresh water that covers 98% of Antarctica, however, is at least 32 degrees F, so no, that frozen fresh water is at least the same temperature as the ice in your freezer. Any glacial melt -- running fresh water on the continent -- is warmer than 32 degrees F, or it would not be liquid.
